An example of some of the best Ethiopian coffee. Arabica beans of the Heirloom variety are grown in the Ethiopian highlands in the Gedeo region of Ethiopia by the Biloya co-operative. The area is very high with very little under 1500m, and it includes Africas 10th highest mountain Ras Dashen.
The Heirloom variety of bean, lightly roasted, provides a real festival of flavour. A nutty, flowery mixture with tones of jasmine and cocoa and even a hint of ripe oranges.
A great choice for both those discovering special coffees, or those who are more experienced.
Coffee cooperatives have been permitted in Ethiopia since 2001. A UN sustainability report states that cooperatives in Ethiopia have provided financial strength, improved quality, and allowed investments in health and education to local communities.
